So in my post on Monday, I shared the painted walls in our room in Farrow & Ball’s Blackened which I absolutely love. Over the last weekend as it was a 4 day bank holiday weekend here in England, we took advantage and threw everything we had into getting this room as done as possible. As fate would have it, Wayne was struck down with illness for the second time in this remodel on Saturday. As I’d mentioned in this post, I had a film crew coming on Friday (a fun collaboration but no, I’m not going to be on TV, don’t get overexcited) so the room had to be as camera-ready as possible by then (more on this in a minute). This obviously could not have come at a worse time as I had a list for him as long as my arm and I had my own list of things to do that was just as long. Stressed is not even the word.

Thankfully, he was able to power through for a few hours here and there and got most of the stuff that I was desperate for his help on done (thank you baby, I love you loads and get better soon) so I could just get on with the work while he took lots of sleep breaks, working on getting better. So on Saturday, I got up at 6am and at 7:30am, I was finishing up any small bits of painting I had to do. By 10am, I started on the wallpaper.

Wallpapering with Eades Bespoke wallpaper

The lovely folks at Eades Bespoke had been in touch about working with me and after seeing Kolmiolehti in white – a brand new design not even yet released at that point to the market – I anxiously awaited the sample. I’d fallen in love with it on the screen but ordered a few other samples at the time just in case. When I received it, it was love at first sight and knew it’d be the perfect contemporary foil for the more traditional moulding work we’d had planned for the rest of the space. Even better, the paper is all from FSC certified forests so it’s ethically harvested as well. Excellent.

(There’s also a fabulous discount at the end of this post for Swoon Worthy readers!!)

Back to the wallpapering. I know there are still people out there that think I sit around directing Wayne every time we do a remodel – perhaps with a cocktail in hand and a clipboard in the other (I actually quite like that idea) but the truth is, I’m just as much involved in the DIY around here as he is – I’m just normally the one yielding the camera!  Two jobs I always tend to do is the painting and wallpapering around here. So I was absolutely thrilled that the paper was paste-the-wall which means there is absolutely no soaking time, no waiting for the paper to expand with the glue, no messing around with sloppy wet paper, no waiting around whatsoever. You simply apply your wallpaper adhesive to the wall and stick on the paper. SO EASY.

It’s also exceptional quality – nice and thick but with enough give to make it easy to wrap around the corners of the hearth. I’ve hung quite a lot of wallpaper in my time and I know good quality paper when I see it hang it ;) The better quality paper really makes such easy work of wallpapering.

As a little proof that I actually hung the wallpaper myself, Wayne actually grabbed my camera and took some pics as I was hanging it in my beat up jeans, old boots, oversized crappy jumper and unwashed hair – ALL THE GLAMOUR.

Also, even though I’ve lost quite a bit of weight this past year, my ass has gone nowhere. #puertoricangirlproblems #babygotback

And here’s what it looked like once we’d put the mantle back into place. Bear in mind at this point the fireplace was still unpainted – I’ve painted it black since these pictures were taken!

Obviously, we still need to tile out the fireplace and create the hearth but I’m absolutely in love with the combination of this pattern with my chairs…

And I adore the contrast with the soft grey walls and moulding…

Gorgeous no? I wish I had more walls to be honest with you – so many really unusual designs and they are all British designed and printed digitally on non-woven paper which gives the papers a beautiful crisp look that’s really easy to hang. They are also customisable for a small fee – so if you see something you like but need it perhaps in a different colourway, then get in touch with the kind peeps at Eades Bespoke. They’ve been such a pleasure to work with so please tell them I sent you! ;)

So back to the filming… well, of course, as is bound to happen, with Wayne being ill, he ended up giving it to me! So we are both currently battling illness and my energy levels this week have just gone to nothing, the room is still not completely ready to be seen and I’ve had to postpone the filming for another week to recover fully! Ack! Worst timing ever! So yeah, we are giving ourselves the weekend off to just rest and get ourselves better. But I couldn’t resist giving you a little sneaky peek at how things are coming along…

We are nearly there!! The only things left to do are the tiles for the fireplace and then finally we can finish the flooring (it still needs another coat of stain and then the poly on top of that which takes 5 days to fully cure). So once those are both done, then I’ll share the full reveal!

In the meantime, what do you think of the wallpaper? Are there any other designs from Eades Bespoke that caught your eye?

Ad (Press Sample) There are few kitchen products that are considered absolute classics but there is one that I have lusted after for YEARS and that is the utterly iconic @lecreusetuk large casserole pot. 🀩

For nearly a century, Le Creuset has been trusted for its superior performance, lasting quality and iconic design and the enamelled cast iron allows incredible versatility - not only can you use it with just about any heat source (from induction, glass, electric etc), you can also do everything from stir-fry to slow cooking to baking a cake in it and more. 

So, imagine my delight when Le Creuset got in touch to ask if I'd like to shoot their brand new colourway πŸ‘ PΓͺche πŸ‘ in my kitchen. I mean, there couldn't be a more perfect colour match with that juicy coral shade which if you've followed my account for any length of time, you'll know is one of my all-time favourites (not to mention that beautiful soft gold knob! 😍). The matching petite casserole dish and mugs are the perfect companions but you could easily mix and match this colourway with Le Creuset's other designs (Might I suggest the Sea Salt, a soft blue-green which would be gorgeous with PΓͺche). This new juicy summer shade is currently available exclusively at Le Creuset Official. I'd love to know which colourway is your favourite in the range?

I've really loved making these pretty reusable Christmas crackers! I'm still in the process of finding cute bits for filling them but they'll definitely be a centrepiece for my table this year!πŸŽ„πŸ’•

Suggestions for what to fill them with coming soon!

(By the way, I'm not a skilled seamstress so I'm sure my techniques can be improved but just sharing what worked for me πŸ€—πŸ˜…)

I've been thinking about making refillable crackers for so many years now - I just hate the waste the disposal ones create! So I'm so excited I've finally gotten around to starting this project!

I will be sharing more details on how to make them as well as ideas for what to fill them with too so stay tuned for more but in the meantime, what do you think?

Just wanted to introduce my latest plant baby in my dining room πŸͺ΄

It's from @botanique_shrewsbury and it's a Peparomia (I am probably pronouncing it wrong, I keep wanting to say
GUEST BEDROOM REVEAL 🌟

I decided on a whim, 2 weeks before we were expecting visiting family, that our guest bedroom was in desperate need of a refresh.

Well there's nothing like an impending deadline to light a πŸ”₯ under my πŸ‘ and I managed to clear out the clutter, repaint the woodwork, ceilings and walls and hang wallpaper as well as restyle the room in one week πŸ˜… (Meisha was zero help 😼)

I'm calling it Boho Vintage Victorian Grandma πŸ˜†

This wasn't sponsored in any way but the wallpaper and bedding is from @lauraashleyuk and the paint is @earthbornpaints Peach Baby - everything else I already had!

What do you think of the new look? ❀️

πŸ”₯JOIN US ROUND THE FIRE PIT! πŸ”₯

ad | One of my favorite things to do in summer is sit around the fire pit in the evenings with a cold beer 🍻 There's just something incredibly relaxing watching those flames and embers crackle, warming yourself up and taking the edge off falling temperatures as the sun sets!

Thanks to @homefireuk they've made the whole process incredibly easy and enjoyable with their Handy Firepit Bundle which include 2 bags of kindling, 2 bags of natural firestarters and 3 large bags of kiln-dried logs πŸͺ΅ for a really great price! 

No more standing around waiting for things to light properly or billowing smoke from wet wood, everything burns beautifully! ☺️ We literally sat around this for hours as the logs last so long, long after the sun set, just chatting and enjoying ourselves! πŸ₯°πŸ»πŸ”₯

Do you love a good firepit in the summer?

Ad 🩷 Before and after Deck makeover! 🩷

This little decked patio was looking worse for wear after a wet winter but @frenchicpaint came to the rescue with their beautiful Dusty Blush Alfresco Paint, perfect for all your outdoor projects!

The deck has been a few colours over the past few years but this is definitely the most fun and gives the whole space such a tropical vibe - even in Shrewsbury! 🏝️ πŸ¦©πŸΉπŸ˜„

The paint has incredible coverage and was so nice to use - I loved the tools they provided too, especially the oval brush which got into all the nooks and crannies easily!

Let me know what you think of the new colour!

So on a whim I decided to paint the bedroom pink yesterday πŸ˜…πŸ©·

This room has been neglected for so long as I've wanted to fully redecorate for about 3 years now but there are always other bigger priorities or a lack of time/energy/money so I keep putting it off πŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒ (tell me I'm not the only one) but happily this didn't cost a penny as I used what I already had although it did take me the best part of a day!

I went through my paint stash and found that I had extra @coatpaints Percy from when I did the living room early last year -- well I'm not one to let something this good go to waste (honestly this paint is absolutely wonderful to work with and has amazing coverage) and my goodness it's just so pretty in here πŸ₯° I also moved my pink curtains from my office into here and the whole room just glows!

I might actually be able to live with the mural a little longer until the room gets the attention it deserves! Let me know if you like the change β™₯️

*For those who are wondering, it used to be white walls and I had grey curtains! πŸ˜…

April has been #stressawarenessmonth and so I've teamed up with the wonderful @frenchbedroom to share a few simple tips in creating a cosy sanctuary at home!

Finally managed to get the gallery wall completed in our hallway!

I couldn't have been happier with @violajayphotography capturing our little intimate wedding in October and knew as soon as I saw the photos I had to print them for our home! I admit, I've never been one to hang photos but it's probably because all we ever had after 14 years together was selfies πŸ˜‚πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ I'm so pleased we finally have some lovely shots of us together πŸ₯°

Do you have photos of you/your partner/your family up around your home?? πŸ€”

✨These little vintage copper pans needed some TLC! ✨
